' invention7 such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apperta-ins to make and use the saine.

rlihis invention ielates to an improved ile-l and one mountable i'ini for vehicle wheels, of the objects of the invention is to piovide a. rini consisting of two overlapping i'iln sections, in combination with tiensveisely disposed "pins, each having a head on one end, and an angled poi-tion at the opposite end for detachably holding the 'rim sections overlapped.`

Another object of the invention is to provide notches upon the edge of one of the rims to receive said angle portions, to pre vent parti l votation of the pins.

Anotheg; object of the invention is the pi'ovision'oi' a slot and pin connection between the two rim sections, whereby as one rim section is telescoped into the opposite rim section, the retaining pins will he alined with the notches, so that the notches will Vreceive the angle oi' bent povtions of the retaining pinsu In pi'aetical lie-lds the details of construction may necessitate alterations, failing within the scope oi what is claimed.

The invention comprises in'the feature and combinations ci pants, as hefeinantei' s' forth, shown in the drawins claimenM in the drawings Figui-e` l is a view in side elevaion ci the improved deinonntalale rim.

Fig'. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. l.

3 is a. detail perspective view ci a 'portion of one of the sections which can ries the retaining pins.

fi a detail perspective view ci a portion ci the opposite section, in a position needy to he telescopica-ily united to the opposing section,

Reieiring more especially to the drawings, l designates the sire es a whole, which conipiises the twoifs-in s/eticns 2 and 3,

'telescopically united,

which ae provided with annular' beads Ll and 5, which, when the rim `sections are engage the opposite sides ci? the tive 6,therehy\holding the same secincely in position -Retaining pins 7 extend transv'eisely o f the 'bead l o' the rim section 2, and are'arranged at spaced intervals. The retaining pins 7 are provided with heads S toprevent movement of the pins in one direction. Vihen the rim sections are telescopically united, the retain ing' pins engage between the vini sections. Each retaining pin` at its endv opposite the head isprovided with en angular bent poi*- tion 9, adapted to ovei'lie the head 5 of the rim section 3, owing to the pin .heing rocked p srtially and a notch l of the head u These notches 10 are amanged at spaced intervals, and ae for the pui-pose of pie venting displacement of the ietaining pins, and also assist in preventing anni'ilar movement of one rim section relative to the other rim section. The fini section Q'is supplied with a transverse slot ll, which, when the rim sections are telescopically united, vegistei's with a slot l2 of the rim section 3, so thatin this manner the two slots will arch the iniiating check valve casing 13 of the tire. rlhe check valve casing in conjunction with the slots will also assist in, preventing creeping tive to the others rlhe fini section 2 is secnved upon the i'elly le of, the wheel by means of the devices l5. From the foregoing it is iie noted niet there has been in improved rim fof vehicle wheels,

one hich has been :ound simple, effianl practical in construction, and may he removed or attached very eesiiv and quickly.

i? ventio-n having heen set forth, what is claimed as new and fasei'nl is:

fino, e pair oi rim seo ng of thin bands, one overflle eener a distance substantially the rim, the enter edges of .fiin sections having annular underlapping hand iim section having its head provided with a plurality on openings, the heed of the overlapping eend rim section having vadially disposed iecesses, a plurality of pins passing through said openings, whereby .the Shanks of the 'nii (e .l said hand hee/ds, the

of one rim section relaoil Sil

pins pass between the bend rim sections, the names to this specication in lthe presence extremities of the pins being bent radially of two subscribing Witnesses. and into engagement with the recesses of HENRY GALE. the bead of 'the overlapping rim section, WILLIAM B. RGMEISER.

of sald pins ae prevented. WM. HOLOPIREK,
